Original Message
I have to pay taxes and get nothing in return from them. I have to pay for my housing and food, while others get it for free. I can't afford healthcare, but if I wasn't a citizen, I could just walk into a hospital and have it taken care of for free.
I'd estimate about 75% of my paycheck goes toward food, housing, taxes (no healthcare). Why am I a citizen when every bit of those costs are free to illegals?
Other than nostalgia and attachment to my country, there is no logical reason to remain a citizen...
There's something very wrong with the system when this is the case.
